#2346: Compilation of large source files requires a lot of RAM -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: choener | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: lowest | Milestone: 7.6.2 Component: Compiler | Version: 6.8.2 Keywords: | Os: Linux Architecture: x86 | Failure: Compile-time performance bug Difficulty: Unknown | Testcase: Blockedby: | Blocking: Related: | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Comment(by morabbin): These all compile on an 8Gb RAM Macbook Pro without running out of memory. RF00549.hs produces a 52Mb .o! Sure, they take a few hours to compile, but they don't fail, nor do they appear to eat all the memory (i.e., my machine was not rendered useless). It seemed quite acceptable to me, given the sizes of the files. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2346#comment:16 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
